Visit the under-appreciated but spectacular highlands of the Olallie Scenic Area. This area underwent sheet glaciation rather than valley glaciation, resulting in flatter terrain and so many lakes that many have never been named.
Highlights include wide-ranging views with the glaciers of Mount Jefferson only 9 miles distant, glacial striationsin bedrock, wildflowers, and mixed woodlands with meadows, lakes and cliffs.
The moderate hike of 5.6 miles has a 900 ft. elevation gain on a gentle up and down route. High Point of 5320 ft.
Bring plenty of water, a camera, bug spray, and a lunch. Be aware that temperatures in the upperwatershed are cooler than down below, and wear appropriate footwear.RSVP to attend by emailing Becki at Rebecca@clackamasriver.org or calling 503-303-4372.
